Magic Johnson will represent the team at the NBA Draft Lottery on May 16.
While Johnson will handle the televised portion of the event, Lakers GM Rob Pelinka will represent the team in the back where the lottery combinations will actually be drawn.
The Lakers have a 46.9 percent chance to land in the top three of the lottery, and thus keep their pick, which is top three protected.
If the pick falls out of the top-3, it will be conveyed to the 76ers.
